Short summary
We conducted a survey on the topic of “interdisciplinarity” among early-career researchers in order to learn about their experiences. There are very different views on what interdisciplinarity means and many positive aspects are cited that enhance research, but there are also a few obstacles when it comes to communication, time management, and publication. It is precisely these obstacles that should be given greater consideration in education and research funding.
